I recently acquired Scent Blocker's Sola Recon Long-sleeve
camouflage shirt to add to my hunting wardrobe. Summers in deep East Texas can
be a little on the warm side but being completely camouflaged while predator
hunting is still a must. Its also necessary to block any odors that could
be set on due to the heat! This is a system layer 1 which would be a piece you
would wear closest to your body against your skin, and in cold weather, add
layers on top of it. It uses antimicrobial technology to help odor
control and also to prevent the growth of bacteria that cause odor. My
plan was to test it not really as a base layer but as an only layer! I was not
disappointed. The quality and reputation of Scent Blocker products gave
me full confidence to test the theory that I could wear the shirt in the middle
of summer to camouflage both my physical appearance as well as block any odors
that can naturally occur, or occur with the heat of summer so I would still be
able to predator hunt successfully.
While
traveling through the woods I found the material to be incredibly comfortable
against my skin even while it was so hot. The fabric used was truly designed to
wick away moisture as well as dry quickly and really helped to keep me cool
while being sturdy enough not to rip or tear while walking through the woods
and brushing up against branches and briars. The way the shirt is designed in
the back really helps to catch any breeze and mobilize it across your torso and
down your arms keeping you cool even though you have a long sleeved shirt on in
the summer! I'm actually looking forward to a balmy bow season now with
this shirt in my wardrobe!
Scent Blocker's commitment to the quality of their product even
extends to it's accessories! The hat I acquired with the shirt was made with
the same level of antimicrobial scent blocking and bacterial inhibiting
technology as the rest of their apparel. Not only does it look good and
appeal to the female hunter, its functional! I have incredibly long hair and
was able to sweep it up and pull it through the hat which protected my head and
hair from numerous vicious summer briars and gnarly limbs seeking to pull my
hair from my tender headed scalp. If you ever did manage to rip or tear the hat
while it was on your head I'm thinking a trip to the ER would be in order!
Scent Blocker has
truly produced an incredible line of quality products for the female hunter!
